Q&A: Nova — AI, & Credits
Hi, I am trying to understand the likely cost of translation with the new credits model. Is there any rule of thumb that I can use - credits per word or other - I have a 2,000 word module and I need to understand for budgeting what that will cost.
"2 credits per source character per target language"

thanks for that - Can I assume that 'source character' includes spaces as well?
Good question, DeNo! Yes, spaces are counted as characters for translation billing.
A couple of other things worth knowing while you're budgeting: Storyline slide notes, alt text, and the underlying formatting markup (bold, styling, etc.) all count toward the character total too, since markup adds characters even if it's not visible text. The one exception is text baked directly into an image, since that's not translated, it's not billed either.
